Hot off the presses. The May issue of Washingtonian includes a guide to "Wheeling to Work" on page 50. It quotes BicycleSPACE co-founder Erik Kugler in its "What Do You Ride" section and pictures our Handsome Devil bike. Put these two together with Bike to Work Day on May 15 and you'll make quite the smartly sustainable fashion statement. (Shameless plug: remember to register for Bike to Work Day. So much awesomeness awaits!)

We are delighted to partner with the D.C. Preservation League to explore the rise of new construction that pops up over neighboring buildings. These pop-up developments are a source of spirited debate among urban planners and policymakers. We'll bicycle around the District to explore contemporary pop-ups and their forebearers, visiting some historic homes that popped up in bygone eras. We'll discuss the ways that design, size and context influence a pop-up's impact on its neighborhood. Photo: 1013 V St NW via Prince of Petworth. The event is free, but please RSVP. Bring your own bike, water and snacks.

There is no regular City Explorers ride on April 26. Please join us to explore urbanism on the pop-up development ride.
